Redpoint, like neighbor Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, is increasingly getting pressured by the likes of Andreessen Horowitz and Greylock Partners. And while Redpoint is pretty good at infrastructure and IT investments, the firm has a mixed record when it comes to new post-social services. Dharmaraj has made a number of investments in the social and mobile space, including Peel, Chill, Pulse, Gogobot and Posterous, which was recently acquired by Twitter. Redpoint is betting Path changes all that.

Twitter acquired Posterous! did not know. Have we seen any integration of techniques or was it more of a talent acq? I remember the ol Tumblr vs Posterous debate.I also remember when Path.io was supposed to be a collection of lists... Which means they weren't exactly wrong then either.
